Ed, Yes, there's always that risk (of annoying someone - apparently I should know better than most - ha ha). But I think the intent of the Board's rules on incubation are to make sure that any downstream consumer is 100% aware of the IP risks they are taking by consuming a given framework. Thus having a strongly labeled "incubation" VE, even if it is not < 1.0, should satisfy that intent. It would be a mistake (I think), if our rules forced a project to damage its user base by resetting the version number just because the people on the project are being reset. - Bjorn Ed Merks wrote: Bjorn, That sounds reasonable, but it sounds like it might only defer the issue which would come back when VE releases and graduates again. It's not entirely clear the extent to which we could intepret the rules in a flexible way without incuring someone's wrath. The board might feel things we do violate the spirit or intent of what the rules they've approved... --
